Key Holding

Rapid alarm response โ€” so your staff never have to.

Our key holding and alarm response service means a trained Armorize officer attends your premises whenever an alarm activates โ€” 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We respond quickly, assess the situation, secure your site, and report back in full โ€” removing risk from your employees.

What We Provide

We securely store a set of your keys off-site and respond to alarm activations within agreed timescales. On arrival our officer carries out a full external and internal inspection, confirms whether the activation was genuine, liaises with emergency services if needed, and re-secures your premises before leaving.

  • Secure off-site key storage
  • 24/7 alarm response โ€” any activation
  • External and internal premises inspection
  • Liaison with police and emergency services
  • Lock-up and open-up services
  • Full written report after every attendance
  • Agreed response time SLAs
  • Out-of-hours emergency cover

Why Key Holding Matters

Sending an employee to attend a late-night alarm puts them at risk and creates liability for your business. Armorize officers are trained to deal with intruder, fire, and technical alarms โ€” so your people stay safe and your premises are in professional hands.

  • Removes risk to your own staff
  • Faster response than employee call-out chains
  • Officers trained for all alarm types
  • Reduces false alarm fines and police withdrawal risk
  • Fully insured and professionally accountable
  • Audit trail for every response

Who It's For

Key holding is ideal for any business that has intruder, fire, or access control alarm systems โ€” especially where staff are not available or willing to respond out of hours.

  • Offices and commercial premises
  • Retail units and shopping centres
  • Industrial estates and warehouses
  • Schools and education facilities
  • Places of worship
  • Residential management companies
